Package: mkvtoolnix
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: minor

mkvtoolnix currently Recommends mkvtoolnix-gui. This indicates,
according to the debian policy manual, that they "would be found
together [...] in all but unusual installations". However, having the
command-line tools only is not at all unusual. Indeed, popcon shows
that mkvtoolnix has 712 installations, and -gui has 543; and some of
those 543 likely pulled it in via aptitude automatically.

Moreover, with recommends being followed by default now, care should
be taken to avoid pulling heavy GUI dependencies in recommends like
this.

I suggest that the mkvtoolnix -> mkvtoolnix-gui relation be relaxed to
a mere Suggests: rather than a Recommends: to avoid this automatic
installation.
